Some dense fog this morning, dry pattern continues

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - It’s been a warm start to February, with record highs set just yesterday. High pressure over the western US is bringing an early taste of spring to Central Oregon.

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until noon today. Visibility has dropped to around a quarter mile in some areas, making travel difficult at times.

As we get some sunshine this afternoon, fog may begin to thin and lift. Highs are expected to reach the 50s and 60s today as we continue the mild trend. Expect similar afternoon highs on Friday with a chance for mostly sunny skies.

Above normal temperatures continue into the weekend, but changes are on the way.

Clouds increase Saturday with a slight chance for rain late in the day. 

Rain becomes more likely on Sunday. Temperatures stay a bit too warm for widespread snow, though a few flakes could mix in.

By Monday morning, we could see some light rain or mix, along with light mountain snow. Those showers won’t last long, and conditions dry out by the afternoon as cooler air moves in, with highs falling back into the mid 40s.
